Hi,

I've added it initially for Delaunay triangulation (used in ratsnest
calculation), but later on Orson decided to use another lib (halfedge)
for that purpose. The other purpose is keeping convex/triangulated
partitions of filled zones/keepouts (for future DRC checks and P&S
keepout support).

Cheers,
Tom
